Mr. Huang and Director Lu were a bit taken aback by the simplicity they encountered upon arriving at the village cooperative.
Who would have thought Lingxiu Village was this rundown!
Mr. Huang glanced around briefly, then smiled at Liu Ruyan and said, "A beautiful woman with such poise as yourself, Chief Liu, doesn't quite match this basic office."
Liu Ruyan smiled apologetically, "Mr. Huang, I apologize, it is indeed a bit simple here. Please, have a seat."
Mr. Huang sat down, yet his gaze remained fixed on Liu Ruyan, revealing an unabashedly greedy look.
Liu Ruyan, excited about Mr. Huang's potential investment, didn't notice anything unusual. She poured two cups of hot water and placed them on the table between them.
"How old are you, Chief Liu?"
"I'm 23," Liu Ruyan replied.
"You're in your prime! Serving as the chief in this rundown village is really a waste of your talent."
